TL;DRAbstract
This study investigates the acoustic correlates of stress in English compounds by measuring the interaction of stress cues with different intonational environments. Effects on vowel duration, intensity, and pitch changes are compared in contrasting compounds and phrases. The results of an experiment in which participants pronounced compounds and phrases in controlled prosodic and intonational environments provide new evidence that the phonetic indicators of stress interact with these environments in a systematic way.
